Round 3:
Declaration:

Thanos: Hit Dr. Fate with a force blasts and grapple Dr. Strange.

Dr. Strange: Scatter from Dr. Fate and bathe Thanos in light from the Eye of Agamotto.

Dr. Fate: Stand ground against Thanos and conjure the Flames of Falorth, a Monstrous intensity Flame spell

Manhunter: Realizes shes out gunned and decides to move away from the battle.

Selene: Injured and not wanting to take another hit like that,

Simon: Wants to cover ground between he and Selene. Activate his Magic Time Clock spell.


Initiative:
Thanos: 7 + 7 Intuition Bonus = 14
Simon Belmont: 1 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 3
Dr. Strange: 9 + 7 Intuition Bonus = 16
Manhunter: 3 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 4
Dr. Fate: 6 + 3 Intuition Bonus = 9
Selene: 2 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 4

Pre-Roll: none

Combat:
Dr. Strange fell back a few feet and called upon the Amulet of Agamotto for aid, bathing Thanos in its brilliant light and causing -2CS to his FEATS for the duration he in the light.

Thanos was angry and levitated into the air to stop Dr. Strange, distracting Fate Dr. Fate to move into melee with them. In the process he riased his hands and fired his Shift-X intensity Force Blast!

Thanos Energy FEAT at Excellent intensity: 20 Karma + 54 = 74, Yellow Result. Bullseye! Dr. Fate was blasted with the intense beam of energy. The Helmet of Nabu's defenses class shifted the damage down to Remarkable intensity.

Thanos moved on to go after Dr. Strange. Still bathed in light however, Thanos suffered the ill effects of the Eye of Agamotto. “Pesky Mage!”

Thanos Grapple FEAT at Monstrous intensity: 30 karma + 23 = 53, Yellow Result. Partial Hold! Thanos was quick, but the levitating Strange managed to avoid the full grapple by Thanos, but he was still in danger!

Dr. Fate chooses no to conjure the flame spell and damage Strange. Instead, he moved toward the melee to try and intervene. “Let him go Thanos!”

Manhnter knew she was well out of her league and departed, waiting for a better chance to take down the heavy hitters. Hopefully they would eliminate each other!

Selene, limped away from the battle and took refugre in a nearby alley, she sat to catch her wind and rest.

Simon Belmont conjured his ancient spells and formed a magical clock device. Spending 10 karma to do, Simon through the clock a the ground.

Simon Belmont Magic FEAT at Incredible intensity: 65. Yellow Result! Simon may cram four rounds of action into his turn! Simon uses these to catch up to Selene, moving through seven areas in a matter of moments and finally coming face to face with Selene. “You're elusive, Vampire. But your undead life ends here!”

The attention of the Grand Master had been on the sorcerers struggle. He however turned his attention to the south, where Beatrix Kiddo did battle with Psyloke and the Silver Surfer interacted with the Hulk.

Grand Master smiled and rolled his dice, he would give both sets of combatants new fighters with whom to contend.

Result:
Dr Fate — Health: 70 Karma: 70
Dr. Strange — Health: 66 Karma: 130
Thanos — Health 370 Karma: 405
Simon Belmont — Health: 150 Karma 120

Dr. Strange is all kinds of screwed in the next round! Thanos might incinerate him right then and there. Dr. Fate had better find a way to intervene, or he might be fighting Thanos on his lonesome! His other allies abandoning him to save their own skin.

Fate's TI is the only reason he's not a pile of ash right now.

Sisafracka firecracka sis boom bah! Thanos! Thanos! Ra! Ra! Ra!

Strange needs to go for something like teleporting or phasing with a quickness, which is very well possible so long as he wins initiative.

Dr. Fate meanwhile seeing that 'trading' power effects against Thanos isn't gonna win out in the long run, may want to start mitigating Thanos somehow, put him in a magic force bubble, slow time around him, something.


Selene's in trouble. her health may not last a protracted battle against Simon Belmont.

As for the Manhunter - she may opt to do something like shoot Thanos in the eye - might not do any damage, but might give Strange the opening he needs to escape.

I didn't see a multiple actions feat for Thanos to move, fire his blast, and grapple Strange.

Isn't it automatic for him with his Monstrous Fighting? Or would that still be a green FEAT?

I figured 2 attack actions would be automatic FEAT for Thanos. However, now that its pointed out, I forgot to charge Thanos the -1CS he would of obtained for making multiple attacks

2 attacks would be automatic for Thanos at Monstrous fighting.

Round 1:

“Hulk Smash silver man!!” Silver Surfer had tried to approach the Hulk, Hulk however was mindless and prone to rage when it came to being approached.

Declaration:

The Hulk: Grapple Silver Surfer and slam him into the ground

Silver Surfered primed himself for a shattering attack on Hulk as another teleport portal open to introduce the next combatant.

Resolution:

Cool boots hit the pavement as Mr. Freeze joined the battle. His cold eyes widening in surprise at the sight of the Hulk and the silver man in front of him. He armed his Freeze Gun.

Misty ignored the two in front of her and took off running East in the direction of Colleen Wing who was staring down Carnage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The highly skilled fighters in Psylocke and Beatrix had come to a stand still after the Hulk destroyed the street below them. Beatrix stood and held out her possessed katana once more to do battle, if need be. “This is foolish, we should be working together.” The Trigon enhanced Hatori Hanzo Katana gleamed in the Bride's hand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those wondering, Beatrix's Katana reads like this on her Character Sheet:

Hatori Hanzo's Finest Sword:
Amazing 50 material strength , Remarkable 30 edged damage. The Sword automatically cuts through other weapons of less then Remarkable material strength.

Trigon has enhanced the blade with his Power, giving it +2CS to all effects listed above. Unearthly 100 Material Strength, Amazing 50 Edged Damage and the Sword automatically cuts through materials of less then Amazing 50 material strength.

Psylocke Stun FEAT at Incredible intensity: 20 Karma + 29 = 49, Green Result. Psylocke was hurt just enough by the enchanted blade that it took her out of her game for a round, stunned by the sharpness of the blow across side.

But you had to be the first to taste my new power.” The Bride cleaned her blood splattered blade and Psylocke's uniform as her eyes began to glow red with Trigon's influence. The Hulk's roar brought Beatrix out of her high and back to the battle at hand. Beatrix is awarded 10 karma for defeating an enemy.

Result:
Beatrix — Health: 100/130 Karma 0/96
Betsy — Health: -40/160 Karma 0/140

First, I am /so/ glad that the Bride took out Psylocke. I think it's appropriate and just kinda cool, overall. I think that the Surfer is just really too much for the Hulk to handle and if the Surfer is smart will end this uickly as his former comrade in the Defenders becomes an exponential threat as rounds progress.

Mr. Freeze is really an after thought in the context of Hulk or Surfer, so it's hard to really make any coments on him of use until he gets more in range of people his speed.

Misty i think will make good fodder for the Bride as well, assuming that they engage one another.

Yeah, Surfer seems to have Hulk's number all right... and he didn't even have to resort to draining Hulk of his Gamma Radiation... which I believe surfer has done before.

The Martial Artists are fun to run in combat, they can rack of damage rather quickly. One thing I noticed about Hulk is that for as strong as he can become, he is limited in what he can do.

I'm loving Beatrix' Trigon enchanted sword. Giving her Amazing 50 Edged has really made her deadly. The Combat Sense use of an extra melee attack was what finally put down Psylocke. She couldn't keep up with the Unearthly Sword Work forcing Stun after Stun FEAT. Beatrix is lasting far longer then I thought! It will be interesting when she fights someone with powers.

Psylocke doesn't have powers?

Psylocke used her TK to throw Beatrix through a wall. Beatrix managed to force a stun FEAT that Psylocke failed. A few multiple attacks later and even more failed Stun FEATS and Betsy was done.

Whoa wait... since when has Psylocke had TK? I thought she was just a regular old telepath. I'm not questioning it, I'm curious now. Did her powers change in the last ten years?

Very much so

Betsy lost her telepathic powers imprisoning Shadow King on the Astral Plane, and somehow gained telekinesis instead.

Actually I think Betsy vacillates between the two power sets now.

War Machine's sensors analyzed the wave of Magic energy that Dr. Fate had thrown at Thanos. He decided to stop a top the 7 story tall Gaston Building and drop off the Huntress and Chun-Li. War Machine looked over the edge of the building and grew alarmed when he saw Thanos. Rhodey knew he was going to be a major problem.

War Machine Sensor FEAT at Incredible intensity: 20, White Result. Rhodey's sensors were so occupied analyzing the threat of Thanos that it failed to even notice the empowered Jason Voorhees approaching from behind.

Huntress checked on the injured Chun-Li as Jason approached closer.

Chun-Li Intuition FEAT at Remarkable intensity: 66, Yellow Result. Chun-Li looked up at past Huntress just as Jason set foot on the rooftop. Chun-Li gasped and pointed to Jason. “But we stopped him!”

Chun-Li Psyche FEAT at Excellent 20 intensity vs. Typical intensity Fear Generation: 58, Green Result. Pass! Chun-Li stood and took her fighting stance, she wasn't afraid of the monster.

Huntress Psyche FEAT at Excellent 20 intensity vs. Typical intensity Fear Generation: 53, Green Result. Pass! Huntress also refused to fear the monster, she brought out her bow staff and readied herself for battle. “Why is he glowing yellow? What happened to him!?”

War Machine turned with a frown and registered Jason on his sensors. “Get out of here!” War Machine yelled to the ladies. He could see Jason powering up for his attack.

War Machine Psyche FEAT at Good intensity vs. Typical intensity: 61, Green Result. Pass.

Jason - Health: 155/155 Karma: 0/46

War Machine - 230/230 Karma : 50/50



Round 1:
Declaration:
Jason: Form a Yellow Energy machete that engulfs his original. Unleash horror movie machete attack into her.

Chun-Li: Evade

Huntress: Use her Bo-Staff to try and take Jason off his feet.

War Machine: Rise up into the air and unleash full power Repulsors on Jason.

Initiative:
Chun-Li: 3 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 5
Jason: 9 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 11
War Machine: 9 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 10
Huntress: 1 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 2

Pre-Roll:
Chun-Li, seeing she won't have time to Evade before Jason is on top of her. Wishes to change her action. Chun-Li Agility FEAT at Incredible intensity: 58, Green Result. Fail. Chun-Li may not alter her action.

Combat:
Jason's machete roared to life with yellow energy, extending it at least to twice its length. Jason lunged after Chun-Li. Jason Fighting FEAT at Remarkable intensity: 05, White Result! Miss! The yellow machete crashed into the roof of the building as Chun-Li flipped out of its way, avoiding the deadly blow.

War Machine rose above Jason to get a better point of attack. War Machine Energy FEAT at Monstrous intensity: 48, Green Result! Hit! Rhodey held both Repulsor rays up and squarely nailed Jason with the Monstrous 80 intensity Repulsor ray. Striking his energy sheath.

Monstrous 80 intensity Repulsor vs. Excellent 20 Energy Sheath = 60 damage. Jason seemed unphased, still intent on his purpose to take out Chun-Li and Huntress.

Chun-Li flipped over Jason to get away from the wall to her back and ran across the building to the other side, leaping onto the red brick stairwell leading down.

Huntress took the chance to try and trip Jason up with her bo-staff.

Huntress Fighting FEAT at Incredible intensity: 73, Yellow Result! However, Jason's Qwardian ring kept him protected from the attack, Huntress's staff simply grazing off the yellow energy sheath.

Thoughts:
Jason is quite a handful now that he has that energy ring to up his power. The Unearthly level machete use is going to be a downer for most everyone he runs into. At least his Energy Sheath only protects him from Excellent 20 damage. Rhodey is going to have to pull this one off quickly before Huntress and Chun-Li quit being lucky with their rolls.

War Machine i think is a match for a Sinestro Corps Jason, though Chun Li and Huntress might need to keep Jason distracted in order to pull off the actual victory. Jason though can certainly beat the trio as well. Luckily he's not too imaginative so he won't really be able to pull off some of the Ring's more diverse feats.

Round 2:
Declaration:
Huntress: Move away from Jason and over to the Water Tower near Chun-Li.
Chun-Li: Fire Kikoken and flip up on top of the Water Tower.
War Machine: Has had good luck with the Repulsor, wants to push Jason over the edge of the building.
Jason: Recognize Rhodey as the main threat and slash at him with the Qwardian Energy enhanced Machete.

Initiative:
Chun-Li: 7 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 9
Jason: 6 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 8
War Machine: 1 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 2
Huntress: 4 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 5

Pre-Roll:
None

Combat:
Chun-Li flipped backward to put space between she and Jason. She summoned up her Chi energy to fire a blast toward Jason. “Ki-Koken!”

Chun-Li Energy FEAT at Incredible intensity: 07, White Result! Jason was on the move before Chun-Li's fireball could touch him, Jason was attacking War Machine!
Jason Edged FEAT at Remarkable intensity: 25, White Result. Miss!

Jason flew through the air and swung his machete down while War Machine avoided to the side. Huntress moved toward Chun-Li, speaking with her about a battle plan. “We may have to run.” Chun-Li and Huntress watched as War Machine brought his Repulsors up to take on Jason.

War Machine Energy FEAT (Monstrous Agility to Fire Weapon Suits -2CS due to firing a distance weapon while in melee) at Incredible intensity: 95! Red Result! Jason's Energy Sheath negates Excellent 20 of the damage, leaving Jason with another 60 damage!

Jason Endurance FEAT at Typical intensity: 18, White Result! Endurance Loss. Jason's torso was ripped apart by the force of Rhodey's blasts! But Jason wasn't stopping! He hardly slowed as he raised his arm to once more attack War Machine!

Result:
Jason - Health: 35/155 Karma: 0/46 Jason falls to Poor 4 Endurance.
Chun-Li — Health: 36/106 Karma: 40/60
Huntress — Health: 90/90 Karma: 20/60
War Machine - 230/230 Karma : 50/50

Round 3:
Declaration:
Jason: Take War Machine's head off with the machete attack.
Chun-Li: Hold
Huntress: Hold
War Machine: Extend his arms Steel Blade and Block Jason's attack with it.

Initiative:
Jason: 6 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 8
War Machine: 5 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 6

Pre-Roll:
War Machine's Sensors wrapped over Jason and it kept coming back to the ring. Rhodey could see the oncoming Machete attack and stopped his Repulsor ray attack, extending his Steel Sword from his right wrist and swinging it around to meet Jason's oncoming Machete attack. ((I'm listening to “Iron Man” and the visual in my head of War Machine sword fighting with Jason is epic ))

War Machine Block FEAT at Monstrous intensity: 62, Yellow Result. -2CS. Rhodey gains Incredible Body Armor vs. Jason's oncoming attack.

Combat:
Jason's body was ripped to shreds, but the demon kept pushing forward and reared back with his Machete.

Jason Fighting FEAT at Remarkable intensity: 81, Yellow Result. Stun! Jason's energized Machete deals Unearthly damage.

War Machine: 100 Damage — Incredible 40 Blocking Armor — Monstrous 80 Body Armor vs. Energy = No Damage! No Stun! War Machine's eyes light up with energy, he was done playing around with this thing was going to put it down for good!

Thoughts:
Awesome use of the Block ability by Rhodey, he completely nullified Jason's attack.
Maybe I'm playing it wrong, or Sinestro and Jason are having bad luck, but the Yellow Energy Ring hasn't been aiding those who obtain it. But then again, it's probably because of who they're fighting. Sinestro had to fight Silver Surfer, and if Jason had a higher Psyche rank, I don't think War Machine would stand a chance, his weaponry would have a much harder time piercing Jason's Energy Sheath.

I think you're right about the Ring - Sinestro just had the wrong opponent and Jason doesn't have the best stats to maximize its potential.

Yeah, as I recall she got back her Psychic powers the last time she was revived. Think she still has the TK though as well.

The question is... when Jason "dies" does the ring stay with him because he's already undead, or does it again seek a new master.

If so...

With Thanos right there, I think the operative word would be.... Uh-oh.

I'm not sure who causes more fear then someone who's known to have killed half the universe. (I don't think that was ever mind wiped.)

Round 4:
Declaration:
War Machine: Hit Jason with a Pulse Bolt
Jason: Refuse to give up, Break through War Machine's defenses

Initiative:
Jason: 7 + 2 Intuition Bonus = 9
War Machine: 7 + 1 Intuition Bonus = 8

Pre-Roll:
None

Combat:
Jason moved back a few feet to get a better swing at War Machine.

Jason Fighting FEAT at Remarkable intensity: 31, White Result. Miss!

War Machine had Jason's # and easily avoided each and every attempted blow by the masked murder. War Machine thrust his left arm up into Jason's stomach and fired his Pulse Gun.

War Machine Energy FEAT at Incredible intensity: 20 Karma + 67 = 87. Yellow Result. Bullseye! War Machine's Unearthly intensity Pulse Rifle burst Jason's body across the area. War Machine gains 10 Karma for vanquishing an opponent.

Result:
War Machine - 230/230 Karma : 40/50
Jason — Health: -45 Karma: 0

Chun-Li and Huntress ran up to War Machine with cheers. They were sure the threat was finally over. War Machine walked over to the inert ring and lifted it. His sensors analyzed the power ring as it came to life to find a new owner. The Ring forcefully removed itself from Rhodey's grasp, to shoot down to the street below, engulfing Thanos in yellow energy, blowing Dr. Strange away from his grasp.

The ring spoke “Thanos of Titan, you possess the ability to instill great Fear.” The energy had changed Thanos suit to match that of the Corp. “Welcome to the Sinestro's Corp.” Thanos looked down at his new found item and grinned a toothy grin. “Sinestro's Corp? You mean the Thanos Corp!” He raised his ring hand into the air and unleashed its power.

Thoughts:

I went with your idea Kasz, The ring wants to be with the most able and Thanos fit that bill.

Alright,

Thanos with a yellow ring? Check. This was inevitable as Thanos is one of the most scary guys out there.
Thanos with power gem? Not yet.
Thanos with He-man's harness and sword? Not yet.
Thanos with Beatrix's Katana? Not yet.

Key words: Not yet.

Why would he want some swords?
To teleport them into Doctor Strange's heart of course.
or just so others wouldn't have them
or because with the yellow ring he now has a form of TK and with his F: multi attacks with these swords would be devastating.

Equipment:
Qwardian Power Ring: Unearthly material, the Qwardian Power Ring has the ability to affect and use fundamental forces of the known universe, including electromagnetic energies such as Gravity, Radiation, Heat, Light, and powerful blasts of concussive Force. The Power Ring has the following power stunts:
-Electromagnetic Force Manipulation: The Qwardian Power Ring has extensive energy manipulation powers able to effect the entire spectrum including gravity, radiation, heat, light at Un ability. The user can create and maintain 4 effect's per round. By making a sucessful Psyche FEAT roll, the user may create and maintain a fifth effect. On the creation of solid objects, the GM decides which creations are within the power of the ring and assigns a power intensity FEAT: Simple weapons, entrapments devices, common geometric shapes, gigantic hands and simple containers are all powers stunts and are usually Mn rank. Powers stunts include:
--Energy Blasts: Unearthly 100 Energy
--Kinetic Blast: Unearthly 100 Force
--Force Field: Unearthly 100
--Create Objects of Solid Energy: Unearthly 100
-The Qwardian Power Ring is also capable of imparting the following extra abilities:
--True Flight: Incredible airspeed within atmosphere, CL3000 in space
--Life Support: The ring provides CL1000 life support when required.
--Energy Sheath: This life sustaining aura protects him from harm. The ring generates a field of life sustaining atmosphere and protection from harmful radiation, even if the user is unconscious. It also offers Psyche rank defense vs. attacks.
--Electromagnetic Scanning: The ring has a wide range of detection abilities. If it can be conceived it can probably be detected. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including Radio, Television, Infrared, Ultraviolet, and high frequency band communications at Unearthly 100 levels.
--Universal Translator: The ring allows the wearer to communicate with anyone, no matter what language is spoken at Monstrous rank. The ring allowed for translation as long as the medium for communication was able to be duplicated by the ring, and that a Sinestro Corps member was aware that communication was being attempted.
--Regeneration and Recovery: Excellent 20 ability to repair minor injuries in himself or others.
--Absorption: Unearthly 100
--Invisibility: A ring wielder can render him/her/itself invisible at Mn rank by willing the ring to bend light waves around his/her/its form, as well as that of the power ring. Presumably, a similar action allows an experienced ring wielder to create objects of colors other than green.
--Life Sense: Green Lantern "Type" Energy only: CL1000
--Protection from Mortal Harm: The Power Ring features an emergency energy reserve, to be utilized only when the wielder faces mortal injury. This power automatically activates to preserve a Sinestro Corps member's life and can be used only once during a 24-hour period, unless the power ring is recharged at the power battery. The effect can then last up to an additional twenty-four hours, to protect a Sinestro Corps member if energy runs out in the void of space.
--Raise Power: Any power or ability of the ring may be temporarily enhanced by a Psyche FEAT roll. He must roll with -2cs against Psyche for every +1cs, he is hoping for. If he wants to fly at Rm, he must make a Psyche check at Gd. The more powerful the blast the harder it is to do. If using the optional Universal table with the blue fumbles, a Blue Result shorts out the Power Ring, rendering it inoperable for the duration of 1d10 turns.

Limitations:
Charge: Each power ring maintains a CL3000 positive charge to use. This is decreased by the power rank used. Intensity of FEAT's using the ring drain points from the ring's 3000 point charge. As most Sinestro Corps members never use this kind of power in a 24-hour period, most believe the ring charge is unlimited. The other real weakness of the ring is the wearer.
Fear: The Qwardian Power Ring has the ability of instilling great fear in others and uses the Corps members' fear to power it.
Residual Energy: The ring leaves a trace residue of yellow energy on objects it touches or in the immediate vicinity of its use. The residue lingers for a few hours and is detectable by those with heightened senses of awareness, or by sophisticated mechanical devices, such as the creature known as Legion or the robotic Fists of the Guardians.
A time null zone can render the ring powerless by freezing the flow of time around a Sinestro Corps member. Likewise, the flow of time can be accelerated in the ring's vicintiy, causing the power ring's charge to be depleted in what may seem seconds to the ring wielder.

--------------------------

Thanos possesses:

Energy Sheath: Shift-X 150
True Invulnerability: Amazing 50

Is he pretty much untouchable? Or do the Sheath and T.I not stack? Not that it would really matter, the protection from either is going to be adequate in most cases. At least the ring possesses only 2400/3000 of its energy charge. Its getting passed around a lot and won't last forever.

Thanos + yellow power ring = an entire warehouse of crates of cans of whoopa$$... on everyone... likely including whomever still thinks he's running this show...

"I bided my time and played at your petty game until I found something of interest. Now you learn the folly of trifling with Thanos!"

In my book they stack...

Yeah Thanos has just entered a new class all by himself.
Even if he takes damage the ring provides regeneration so he can just teleport himself out to a safe location and come back as a threat at his convenience.

It may seem over balanced but that's how the dice roll...

The real question is can Thanos with his cosmic power manipulation find a way to recharge the ring on his own...

Jason was a mindless killer.
Thanos has R: Un 100 so he may come up with some really nasty things no one else has thought of with the ring.

I still think Strange and Fate as a combo can whip up some stuff to mess with Thanos and the ring, but their job just became infinitely harder. it'll take surfer and heman keeping Thanos busy physically while magi try and separate him from the Ring.
